i can tell 4 sure that the Gti will win, its lighter, has turbo and most of all, has DSG.
its true that its front-wheel drive, but thats 1 thing against all other featueres above, im not sure, but from 0 mile/h, the Gti will jumps infront of a 325, i drove that car, if u put ur foot on the peddale, ur head sticks to the headrest!!!!

both cars have launching techniques, n the Gti's is much more usefull (more complicated than the step.)

hold your brake, while at the same time rev your engine to the optimum rpm (fellow member agent said it's around 1800rpm? not sure, search for it), then release your brake.
I wouldn't dream of doing this to my car, but if you want, try it
